Women inspired by Princess Eugenie are sharing stories of their scars

Princess Eugenie proudly displayed her scar from scoliosis surgery on her wedding day, declaring that “I think you can change the way beauty is” - and her message appears to have been heard, loud and clear.
The royal bride is said to have specifically requested a low back dress in order to highlight the scar and the incredible work of the teams who conducted her surgery, aged 12.

"I'm patron [of the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital's Redevelopment Appeal] of their appeal and I had an operation when I was 12 on my back, and you'll see on Friday, but it's a lovely way to honour the people who looked after me and a way of standing up for young people who also go through this," she told Britain's TLC prior to the wedding day.
"I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it’s really special to stand up for that."
